Neighborhood Projects Initiative

The Neighborhood Project Initiative (NPI) program is a community grant program that funds one-time, small-scale, community-initiated physical improvement projects that benefit the community and currently have no other source of funding. Projects must be located within the West Oakland redevelopment project area boundaries. The program is designed to support existing blight reduction and beautification efforts in the redevelopment project area and to encourage community participation in the revitalization of West Oakland. The maximum grant award per project is $50,000.

Grant applications for the 2008 grant cycle are now available. The grant applications are due by Friday, September 30, 2008.
